All along Ash has denied what many in Bollywood has suspected for a long time. Internet Websites are reporting this for months. Ash keeps denying it!

According to Bollywood sources, When Aishwarya Rai recently appeared on an American chat show, she made a statement that eventually led to lot of embarrassed moments for her public relation firm. When the host asked her how much she makes per film, Aishwaray Rai coolly replied that she makes anything around US $15 Million. Translated into Indian currencies, it comes to lot more than Rs 65 Crores! With that kind of money, producers in India could easily make at least 7 films.

Fact is - Aishwarya Rai commands Rs 2.5 Crores per film and usually settles for Rs 1.75 Crores.

I had mentioned about this same incident in your thread
"Too much media attention"

As a matter of fact, the show about which the media has
written is "The Oprah Winfrey Show". I have seen the show.
The facts have been twisted by the media. In ths show, Aish
was never asked about her salary. When Oprah gives an
introduction of Aish to the audience, she tells the audience that
Aish gets 15million USD for each Indian movie she acts in,
additionally also said that Bollywood movies has an audience
of 5 billion.

Either Oprah is very bad at mathematics and does not know
how far she can go when exaggerating with numbers or
she clearly does not bother to check out her facts before
blabbering anything on the TV show.

Or, with plans of acting in HW movies, it was an idea of
Aish and co. to announce such a thing on the show through
Oprah to give an impression to the HW producers that the
lady makes a 15Million bucks an Indian movie and should be
paid something close for a HW movie too.
